Sleeping on back question?

Question

Is it okay to sleep on my back as long as I’m sitting up? It helps with heartburn, I can put a pillow underneath my legs to help my lower back, and also my hips get very sore when I sleep on them from arthritis.

Answer

From what I understand, you can’t lay flat on your back if you’re farther along because it can compress your major blood vessel that delivers blood to your baby, and it’ll cause you dizziness or shortness of breath or nausea because of the lack of blood flow back to you too. 
However if you’re elevated, that should be okay I think. I’m only 10 weeks and have acid reflux too. And I totally have to sit up for a while with extra pillows or else I feel so sick. I know how that feels.
